A person faces the risk of becoming ill or getting injured, limiting his/her capacity to generate income or losing his/her properties and assets. A person faces the risk of premature death, leaving behind a grieving family who may be financially dependent. Companies, in turn, deal with the possibility of losing their operational capacity because of unforeseen events. There is the additional possibility of damages caused to third parties not directly linked to the action.
